I guess there WAS good reason to have the convo in there then.MaverickX9 said:I think he wrote them all himself.
If they were books at one point, he blatantly stole everything from them and took credit for it himself. Pulled a Tarantino...
Same.So, I don't think they are books. I've never heard anything to say that they were once books.

Optimistic said:So does The Simpsons. There's a difference between pop culture/movie references or homages and actually ripping off the plots and dialogues of other movies ffs. Aside from Reservoir Dogs which Tarantino supposedly (as in, according to a bunch of internet geeks and no one else) ripped off from some obscure Japanese(?) movie, what has he ripped off?

It was a joke. Remember what you first quoted.Flynn said::lol As opposed to a real person like you?
Templar Wizard said:welll i guess everyone who has ever produced a work of fiction could be accused of 'stealing' from other works. chances are that most 'stories' have already been done.
i guess its the degree of the theft...
Frank Herbert wanted (did) to sue Lucas because he felt that SW stole most of the "best" ideas from DUNE.
Harlon Ellison sued my guru because of the similarities with 2 of his tv scripts.
Tarantino could have cleared himself if he said R.dogs was a homage to City on Fire. (he even lifted EXACT shots from the movie)
but as Mckee said: artists steal, great artists steal and make BETTER.
